A tough race to call here for punters with little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Cal Mac, Regulated and Zeis and the tentative vote goes to Cal Mac. The selection is the highest rated on official bhb figures and with this in mind and with conditions in his favour he could go well at a price,. Regulated rates the main danger on his best form but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and for that reason he is opposed. Zeis is another that could go well he takes a significant drop in class but he has shown very little in much better handicaps of late so can not be backed with any confidence. Bosco won well over course and distance last time when defeating Jackie Kiely but that was in a seller and this looks tougher. Of the remainder Rojabaa is another that goes well at the track but he looks to have a little to find off top weight and for thew winner we return to Cal Mac.
